Hi all,
We're in the dead period between league games so I thought I'd dig up stats to see how much they match people's recollection of the season so far. There is no way I'd have matched the players up to their xG and xA (expected assists) per 90 minutes. Good luck trying to guess who is who. When I'm online I'll give yes / no.
Here are the players I've considered. I've put this in as small playing minutes could distort the results.
I've randomised the players and listed them 1 to 16. Here are the xG graph, the xA graph (and then a combined one for people who like looking at them together).
Some notes:
League games only
OPTA stats
The sum of xG is more than xA because sometimes there aren't assists (think Solanke's goal at Newcastle)
